RECREATION. 



*W***********W*^W^******^W**^^r^ 



From "Town Topics," Nov. 25th 



In a great laboratory where quantities like the Club Cocktails 

 are made at a mixing each article is accurately weighed or meas- 

 ured, and the compound is following an exact formula. This 

 insures that each and every cocktail or bottle of cocktails put up 

 shall be precisely correct in its composition. Again recalling the 

 fact that age is necessary to the proper blending of all liquors, it 

 occurred to me that these bottled cocktails, by the time they are used 

 by the consumer, may have already been months or even years in 

 bottle, hence that the blending must be perfect. Reasoning thus, 

 I feel constrained to tell my readers about it, as I know a goodly 

 number of them enjoy a perfect cocktail. I have found the sev- 

 eral brands prepared by the Heublein Brothers — Manhattan, 

 Martini, whiskey, gin, vermouth, and York — all excellent. 



For the Yacht, Camping Party, Summer Hotel, Fishing Party, 

 Mountains, Sea-Shore, or the Picnic. 



These Cocktails are aged, are ready for use, and require only 

 to be POURED OVER CRACKED ICE and strained off to be in 

 perfect condition.

Mr. J. C. McCabe, of Ft. Worth, Tex., 

 with some friends, made 7 trips to Indian 

 Territory during the past season. They 

 found quails abundant and had fine sport. 

 The detailed score which he furnished shows 

 that these gentlemen killed a great many 

 more birds than they should have killed, 

 but they have evidently not had the benefit 

 of proper teaching as to what constitutes 

 a reasonable bag of' game. They will no 

 doubt be more moderate in their killing 

 next year, as Recreation and the L. A. S. 

 are exerting a healthy influence all over the 

 Southwest. 



About 25 years ago I was made captain 

 of a party of 8. We hunted with dogs, and 

 in 3 days killed 23 deer. The 2 front quarters 

 and the hind quarters of one of my bucks 

 weighed 252 pounds. On that hunt I killed 

 a large buck which was spotted like a fawn. 

 He had a fine pair of horns. Some rascal 

 stole the skin. I intended to have it mount- 

 ed. I don't think there was ever another 

 deer like it.

I have just received my eighth number of 

 Recreation and think it is the best maga- 

 zine I ever read. I am pleased with the 

 way you roast the Game Hogs and hope 

 the time will come when real sportsmen will 

 be organized in such a way that they can 

 prevent the hogs from doing harm.

THE WAR BAG. 



One o! your interesting and instructive 

 books on outdoor life, " Camping and Camp 

 Outfits," commends the use of the war bag. 

 We found some improvised ones wonder- 

 fully convenient this summer. Having ar- 

 rived with our trunks at Milton, N. S., we 

 wished to drive 16 miles inland to Green- 

 field on the Port Midway river, for some 

 trout fishing, and there was no room for a 

 trunk on the wagon; so we borrowed two 

 meal bags, put the rubber boots at the bot- 

 tom, then the fishing suits, then the rest of 

 the impedimenta, tied them up, and there 

 they were, ready to go under a wagon seat, 

 in the bow of a canoe or on the back of a 

 guide. As you say, they are easily unpacked 

 — simply hold them up by the two lower cor- 

 ners and shake them. F. G.

Mr. Hayseed (arriving at city hotel)— I 

 s'pose I kin hear the gong here when it 

 rings for dinner, can't I? 



Clerk— We have no gong. We have 

 breakfast from 6 to eleven, dinner from 12 

 to six, supper from 6 to eleven.
